Subject: Re: Unicode information wanted
"The Unicode Standard, Version 2.0" has just been published (ISBN
0-201-48345-9). This is the authoritative source of information on the
Unicode (tm) Standard. The book (with CD-ROM) may be ordered from the
Unicode Consortium (unicode-inc@unicode.org) or from your local
Addison-Wesley dealer.
As for recommendations on articles, that depends on whether the requester
is looking for a technical or non-technical approach.
For a librarian-oriented introduction, there is my paper:
"Unicode and ISO/IEC 10646: an Overview", published in "Automated Systems
for Access to Multilingual and Multiscript Library Materials:
Proceedings of the Second IFLA Satellite Meeting, Madrid, August 18-19,
1993" (Munchen: Saur, 1994).
This article describes the relationship between the Unicode Standard and
ISO/IEC 10646, and discusses the Unicode Standard's design principles.
The Unicode Consortium maintains an open list for discussion of technical
issues. To be added, send your e-mail address to
"unicode-request@unicode.org".
